Arguments

x

An object of class "bcrm", as returned by bcrm

each

Should posterior summaries be plotted after each recruited cohort? Defaults to FALSE.

trajectory

Should the sequential dose trajectory of the recruited patients be plotted, along with the observed toxicities? Defaults to FALSE.

file

File name where the dose-response plots are stored, in a pdf format. The program will amend the current sample size to the end of the file name.

Details

The estimated 2.5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 97.5% quantiles of the probability of toxicity are plotted for each dose. Additionally, a histogram of the number of toxicities and non-toxicities is plotted at each experimented dose.

If trajectory = TRUE then the sequential dose trajectory and observed toxicities are plotted.
